Reading Umberto Eco’s “Role of the Reader” in college, Ricky states that, “The reader completes the text, that the text is never finished until it meets this voracious and engaged reader.” Although there are critics who believe there is a right and a wrong way to ready books, Moody says, “I believe there is not now and never will be an authority who can tell me how to interpret, how to read, how to find the pearl of literary meaning in all cases.” Part 2. Response I really enjoyed reading this article about how the author really has a passion and understanding for reading. This is probably the most in depth piece of writing I have read about the philosophy of reading. Ricky Moody uses very educated language and supports his claims with quotes from well-known people, one being Nietzsche. He ends his essay with a strong quote that uses personification, “I believe in the freedom to see literature, history, truth unfolding ahead of me like a book whose spine has just now been cracked.” With this quote said, it is very apparent that the author has a passion for reading.

Tom is obsessed with doing everything how the books do it and accepts the pieces of literature as fact. He is convinced that all of those events actually happened and that the only way to be successful in his little adventures is to do exactly what happened in the novels.

Also, I feel that Mark Twain chose to make Huck Finn the better person morally because there was a stereotype back then that poor people just couldn’t be as “good” as rich people.

In the fictional novel, The Alchemist, the camel driver tells the protagonist, Santiago, ‘....the people need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they want and need.’ Fear is an obstacle that we all face at some point in our lives.
Amazingly an author can really engage his/her audience, but that really takes a lot. Thurston Clarke was convincing his audience on how and why Kennedy’s speech succeeded, but at the same time giving the reader a model for a well worded and put together writing. All he provided were quotes from JFK’s Inaugural Address, descriptive background information on the actual speech and also on Kennedy’s life, and lastly by illustrating Kennedy’s presentation as a whole. Never have I been so convinced by an author, but Clarke will defiantly go down as the first
Running head: BACK TO SCHOOL Back to School Unnamed ENG 121 English Composition I Instructor: Unamed 20 October 2012 Back to School The world has become so competitive and sophisticated that education is the key between landing a successful career and falling by the wayside with a minimum job.
